Vivian and the bandits looked towards the sound after it resounded through the woods. Vivian and the bandits looked to each other briefly, and the bandits seemed to have a look of fear of in their eyes. 
The bandits didn't even try to go after Vivian again. They grabbed their fallen comrades and hurried away calling to the other bandits "Fall back! Fall back!" Vivian blinked in confusion as they ran, before she went over to Ashton, to check on him and to get the both of them away from the area. 

However, before she could even ask anything or move, the Hystop appeared. Vivian saw that the creature resembled a hybrid between a bobcat and a jaguar. She saw that the creature was hissing and spitting angrily as it directed its attention to her. Vivian didn't know what to do. It was a big cat, but she had no idea how to protect herself against big cats. She wasn't given much time to think about how either, as the Hystop pounced at her and tackled to her to the ground, causing her to yelp. She shouted as she tried to shield her neck from the bobcat's jaws with her right arm, and left hand.
